MSPIFF
MSP International Film Society’s mission is to foster a knowledgeable and vibrant appreciation of the art of film and its power to unite, inform and transform individuals and communities.
Their mission is accomplished through a commitment to exhibiting the very best of new and classic local, domestic and international independent cinema. These notable award-winning films represent many perspectives and experiences and are, for the most part, simply not otherwise available to audiences in the region. And so, through the power of great cinema, they expose their audiences, in a unique way, to a rare mix of cultures, ideas, current affairs and notable filmmaking from around the world.
Executive Director: Susan Smoluchowski. Learn more about the MSP Film Society here.
